I installed lxqt through the config file and added it as the desktop service and when i launch it from sddm it comes up with a black background with a cursor. I just took the standard setup they use in the desktop.scm config and i replaced xfce with lxqt.

Greetings,

My name is Guy and I have been working on some software I call NODEZER0.

In doing so, I created a bare-bones GNU Guix environment I would like to share. I have spent the better part of a year narrowing this down to just the bare essentials for my project and feel others might want to wipe all environmental variables and have a --pure, pristine environment for benchmark testing, CPU cycle targeting, etc...

I did get a Bachelor's in CS back in 2001, but nearly all of my coding and development experience has been self-taught. So I would be interested in what this community thinks of this guix manifest.

A_manifest.scm:

;; NODEZER0 ANVIL MANIFEST0

;; CC0

;; An place to pound silicon into metal

;; Host Machine Requirements

;; + GNU guix

;; guix shell --container --user=$USER --pure \

;; --expose=/dev \

;; --expose=/sys \

;; --share=$HOME=/home/sovereign \

;; -m A_manifest.scm -- busybox ash

;; You are in control.

"binutils" ; Raw assembler (as) and linker (ld) for your Assembly

"musl" ; Your predictable, glibc-free C standard library

"wireguard-tools")) ; Boundary security (& future node0 NebulaNet)

EOF

You can find my README with more info about my upcoming software at hg.sr.ht /~guy_nodezer0/NODEZER0 , but that is not necessary to run this on your box to test.

I use this for my development environment and thought I share.

Cheers,

Original art found here. Guix logo from Wikimedia. The character is Suika Ibuki from the Touhou series. I used GIMP.

I couldn't find a high resolution version of the image so I made my own.

There is qemu.sh to run. And also minimal config.scm as base for some server.

Feel free to suggest some improvements.

Hello.

I have a Guix operating system running on one laptop. I also have NixOS running on another. Coming at Guix OS from a NixOS background, I'm starting to suspect that I am bringing with me a NixOS mindset, a bit like writing Fortran in any language.

Guix is often described as a port of Nix, but from what I have read the one thing they have in common is the derivation format, because some Nix derivation software was ported across - otherwise it is new code.

From the point-of-view of a NixOS user, if I want to add new software I add entries into /etc/nixos/configuration.nix, and then rebuild. Whereas what I've seen so far is things like guix pull, guix install, guix upgrade - almost like I'm using Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, etc. doing apt update, apt install, apt upgrade.

Thoughts, please.

I'm finally running into a bug in Guix for which I need to revert a package, but I'm not sure the best method. I instantiate several podman containers and networks through my Guix home config (home-oci-services). I want to revert the podman version that Guix Home uses, not revert a whole generation. Is the correct remediation to use Guix time machine to pick an older Guix version, then reconfigure my home from that time machine'd Guix?

Hi, all. Has anyone found a reliable method of temporarily disabling Guix Home? I'm a happy customer so far, but it would be nice to have a convenient way of temporarily "popping" out of it with all of my distro's default variables to test if Guix is the culprit of some particular error.

I can do this most of the time by mucking around with $PATH and bash --norc --noprofile, etc., but even that doesn't seem to always catch everything, or causes me to end up with some important default variables not being set.

Hi LaTeX community! 👋

I've created custom builds of **TeXstudio** with **Qt6** and **Poppler-Qt6** for modern Linux distributions, addressing the lack of official Qt6 builds for Linux.

## Why this project?

The official TeXstudio builds still primarily use Qt5 (which reached end-of-life in May 2025), and Linux users have been waiting for proper Qt6 support. These custom builds provide:

✅ **Qt6 framework** - Modern UI/UX with better performance

✅ **Poppler-Qt6 native PDF viewer** - Perfect SyncTeX support (click to jump between PDF and source)

✅ **Optimized packages** - Only ~19MB (66% smaller than standard builds)

✅ **GPG-signed packages** - Full security verification

✅ **Auto-updates** - Built-in update checker pointing to this repository

## 📦 Installation Options

### Option 1: APT Repository (Recommended for Debian/Ubuntu/Devuan)

**Stable branch** (production-ready):

```bash

echo "deb [trusted=yes] https://mlmateos.github.io/texstudio-qt6-builds/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/texstudio.list

This package is one that I've always wanted on Guix so I packaged it. This does work on my Thinkpad x200 running Guix System but hopefully it will work on your machine as well. This is my first time coming up with a pkg definition so I am open to suggestions. It is of course, free as in freedom software.

I've run into a very frustrating problem on my one machine Guix machine (a nicely "blob-free" set-up I put together so it can run pure Guix without problem. And has a great screen (now, again) and keyboard and so would like to be using it!

So I've been running pure Guix System on this machine, a 2008 ThinkPad X200 [Intel Core2 Duo P8600 - 2.4GHz] (installed a blobless Apple Airport Extreme Atheros AR9380 WiFi card so stock Guix linux-libre works fine), and I flashed Libreboot (2016) as the hardware "BIOS" many years back. I've used this machine for a while and it's been fine for many years.

But, the AFFS panel started dying/flaking out a year or two ago and I finally replaced it with a new one (which works and is just as gorgeous as its predecessor).

Having, immediately I replaced the screen panel, I found that now all 74 of my Guix generations (with different kernels) failed to be able to load.

I could unlock Libreboot's GRUB and it could access Guix's listing of generations, but choosing any of these (except for the very first generation of Guix, still on the machine) resulted in failure to boot with Kernel Panic!

[      0.285870 ] DMAR: Failed to map dmar2
[      0.641835 ] initramfs name without nulterm: etc
[      0.840105 ] /dev/root: Can't open blockdev
[      0.840203 ] List of all bdev filesystems:
[      0.840214 ]  ext3
[      0.840215 ]  ext2
[      0.840222 ]  ext4
[      0.840229 ]  vfat
[      0.840236 ]
[      0.840252 ] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
.....

The set-up: a GPT-partitioned SSD, with a 2M BIOS Boot partition, since no UEFI on this model (at least without modern Libreboot), and full disk LUKS-1 encryption. But it's worked like this for some time, and, indeed, the first Guix generation I had (with a 6.0 kernel) would still work fine, but none of the the other generations.

From the one working Guix generation, I tried a bunch of things - renaming the cryptroot mount to use proper UUID instead of /dev/mapper/name ; different initrd settings ; and different kernels. I even went back to a pre 6.0 kernel (5.18) and that had exactly the same issue. So all of them, except the first generation Guix with 6.0 kernel failed in the same way. I tried clearing out generatiions which unfortunately managed to clear out my one working generation, Generation 1 Linux 6.0 . So now the only way I seem to be able to get the machine to boot is using a Trisquel LiveUSB.

I don't know how replacing the screen panel would have caused this particular set of symptoms, and i'm tempted to think that's a red herring (though I suppose there could have been something with the onboard clock getting messed up? but that seems like it would have affected the first generation too).

It seems possible that the GPT+2M BIOS Boot partition 'trick' no longer works, at least with full disk encryption and Libreboot 2016.

But if so, what are my options? What I can think to try:

1) I don't want to go to a non-encrypted setup (I release I could keep /home encrypted, but I want the full disk encryption), though I imagine this would work. But I don't want it.

2) I could try reformattig the drive to plain MBR, but I don't know if that will help. I would have tried this already if it didn't mean doing a full reformat and reinstall.

3) I could try upgrading Libreboot to a modern version - that might help by itself, and/or else I could try to make use of Libreboot's UEFI replacement.†

Thoughts on what paths might make sense? Other things to try? (Or even just an explanation of what's actually likely to have gone wrong?)

† [I'm rather hesitant to upgrade Libreboot though, having burned by a bad experience when I tried upgrading my beloved Thinkpad T60 "IBM"-stamped laptop with an upgraded and beautiful BOEHydis HV150UX1-100 CCFL 1600x1200 screen that I put a inverted board in and also upgraded to an Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 CPU and Apple AirPort Extreme - Qualcomm Atheros AR5BXB112/AR93xx WiFi card. - this was a software-updateble-to-Libreboot machine, and the other more recent update should have been easy, but it failed somehow and left me very sad with an unbootable machine (and no idea when I will/if ever get a chance to do a physical hardware reflash on it - sort of thing I really wish in-person LUGs were still around for..).]

I wanted to experience something new and see how my computer works with Guix. No need for the normal Linux kernel, Firefox or nonguix. So far I'm pretty impressed and I really like the concept! BTW, what do you think of my hostname? 😂

Hello Guix users,

I’ve recently started using (Non)Guix and for sure this is my favourite distro by far. I’ve used many distros like Arch, Void and Nix but this is my favourite. Really clear docs and Scheme as main language sold it for me.

I’ve made my guix config repo/dotfiles nice and modular, so changing machines/desktop enviornments is super easy. It’s based on David Wilsons (Systems Crafters) Guix config, but a bit more modular. Here’s the link to repo: https://github.com/stjmm/dotfiles

I would like to how other people have their Guix dotfiles so please share!

Hello all, I'm a complete newbie to the Guix distro but I've been quite attracted to it from what I've seen. However, my current daily driver is an operating system called Qubes OS, which is based on virtualizing essentially everything (the idea being that if one of your VMs becomes infected, it's less likely to affect the rest of your system).

The most natural way for me to start using Guix would therefore be to add Guix OS as a Qubes template so that I can start spinning up VMs with it. However, I've heard that NixOS has not successfully been spun up in a Qubes template VM. My question is, is this also true of Guix? Has anyone tried spinning up Guix in a VM or adding it to Qubes and has this been successful?

Im trying to do guix pull and its getting to the build section and after a while my laptop overheats and it powers down. Is there anyway i can reduce the resource usage so it wont shut down? Ive also tried with --allow-rollback and that didnt help in any significant way

I am running guix with xfce on my laptop. I would like to install fcitx5 so that I can input Chinese using pinyin.

I have installed fcitxt5 and gotten as far as getting it to work inside of emacs, but I can't get it to work inside of FireFox or LibreOffice. I'm stuck, out of ideas, and hoping someone can lend a hand and point me in the right direction.

In my home.scm file, I have installed the following packages:

   (packages (append (list 
   ...
   fcitx5
   fcitx5-chinese-addons
   fcitx5-configtool
   fcitx5-gtk
   fcitx5-gtk4
   fcitx5-qt
   ...

In my home.scm file, I have declare the following paths

  (services (append (list
      (simple-service 'fcitx5-env-vars
        home-environment-variables-service-type
          '(("XMODIFIERS" . "@im=fcitx")
            ("GTK_IM_MODULE" . "fcitx")
            ("QT_IM_MODULE" . "fcitx")
            ("SDL_IM_MODULE" . "fcitx")

            ("LANG" . "en_US.UTF-8")
            ("LC_CTYPE" . "en_US.UTF-8")

            ("GUIX_LOCPATH" . "${HOME}/.guix-home/profile/lib/locale")

            ("GTK_PATH" . "${HOME}/.guix-home/profile/lib/gtk-2.0:${HOME}/.guix-home/profile/lib/gtk-3.0:${HOME}/.guix-home/profile/lib/gtk-4.0")

            ("GTK_IM_MODULE_FILE" . "${HOME}/.guix-home/profile/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules-gtk2.cache:${HOME}/.guix-home/profile/lib/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/immodules-gtk3.cache:${HOME}/.guix-home/profile/lib/gtk-4.0/4.0.0/immodules")

            ("QT_PLUGIN_PATH" . "${HOME}/.guix-home/profile/lib/qt5/plugins")

            ("QT6_PLUGIN_PATH" . "${HOME}/.guix-home/profile/lib/qt6/plugins/platforminputcontexts")))

And this is the output of my fcitxt5-diagnose

First time Guix install, i have been successful until the system init. I have tried multiple times, even starting from scratch, yet i can't get past it. Please can anyone help me?

Hello r/GUIX,

Esquema is a minimal, security-first, rootless container runtime built natively in Scheme.

It integrates with GNU Guix and Shepherd to give reproducible, strongly-isolated environments without a daemon, without root, and without YAML, just declarative Scheme.

Containers are first-class Scheme objects. Isolation is explicit, fine-grained and secure by default.

Introducing the mega Nonguix :P

Here're what you'll need, details in the post.

Guix System

scheme (operating-system ... (packages (with-nix-profile (append (list (nix-shell-wrapper "ghostty" '("github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-26.05#ghostty") #:run-command '("ghostty"))) ...))) (services (append (list (service nix-service-type) (service nix-search-paths-service-type)) ...)))

Guix Home

scheme (home-environment ... (packages (with-nix-profile (append (list (nix-shell-wrapper "ghostty" '("github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-26.05#ghostty") #:run-command '("ghostty"))) ...))) (services (append (list (service home-nix-search-paths-service-type)) ...)))

I'm still pretty new to Linux. Over the last two years, every time I started learning and became somewhat comfortable with the terminal, I would eventually go back to Windows because that's where all my files, important things and everything else were (I never really set them up on Linux).

So this year I thought, "Why not try dual boot?" I did that for about 2–3 months, but then I went back to Windows completely because the course I was taking demanded from me a lot of money after the free essay, and I didn't want to pay just to learn Ubuntu.

Now I think the best thing for me would be to switch completely to linux, no more windows on my computer at all, move to a distro that will push me to adapt a bit more, and this time bring over all my important files so I won't have a reason or excuse to return to Windows.

So I spent this entire week looking for the right distro: one that doesn't share my data, is fast, secure, and reliable and have some extra features. That's when I discovered NixOS, and at the same time Guix. After watching several videos about them (even though there aren't many about guix), the distro that interests me the most and genuinely makes me want to use it is Guix.

I'm wondering if I should just dive straight into it.

What would you recommend I do?

I would like to daily drive Guix but I've some questions about it.

I've seen videos where people install the "normal Linux Kernel" instead of the Linux-libre kernel, so, should I do the same?

Also I know that you can only download free software from Guix's repositories so, is it flatpack a good solution to install propietary software like steam, obsidian, etc, or are there any other options?

New to the community and been considering a change from Debian to Guix. I love emacs and I also have a ran a declarative distro in NixOS. I never used the lisp like languages before so that will be a change but I'm willing to learn. Just hoping to learn about the struggles you can face with daily driving guix and any great advice if I decide to switch! Thanks in advance for commenting!
